The problem it solves

Back-and-forth texting to find a time that works wastes time for you and your customer, and it is easy to accidentally double-book when you are juggling messages from multiple people. Keeping a manual record of who booked what adds even more work.

Who it fits

Service businesses and freelancers who take appointments and want to stop manually coordinating bookings over text.

How it works

  1. A customer messages you on WhatsApp to book
  2. The system asks for their name and preferred date
  3. It shows only the time slots that are actually free
  4. Once they pick a slot, the appointment is added to Google Calendar and saved to your records
What you get

Bookings made without a single back-and-forth text

Customers pick an open slot right inside WhatsApp and it lands straight on your calendar, with no texting back and forth needed.

What you get

A confirmed appointment on your Google Calendar and a saved booking record.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, a Google Calendar account, and a database to store bookings.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
